I found a few with google searches for (without the quotation
marks, I put those in to delimit the search terms) "larimar price

since I´didnt writ in English. Probably due to that my question has been
misunderstood. The question is that in Spain at the present is very
difficult to find larimar in the market, ¿does anyone know why?
Thanks to Abrasha, O Hai and Al Balmer for their suggestions.
